Combinatorics of exceptional sequences in type A (Q668074)

Summary: Exceptional sequences are certain sequences of quiver representations. We introduce a class of objects called strand diagrams and use these to classify exceptional sequences of representations of a quiver whose underlying graph is a type \(\mathbb{A}_n\) Dynkin diagram. We also use variations of these objects to classify \(\mathbf c\)-matrices of such quivers, to interpret exceptional sequences as linear extensions of explicitly constructed posets, and to give a simple bijection between exceptional sequences and certain saturated chains in the lattice of noncrossing partitions.
